Thanks for all the help Vince Vaughn. 😜 I miss mame. Used to run it out my older pc laptops. I now have a MacBook Pro and for years been trying to figure out how to run mame. I do have openemu for other games.
I did the same thing, but there is no way to play it because the UI does not show “arcade” in the first place. Can someone please help me? Macbook M2 & OpenEmu Experimental
Maybe try an older version? That’s super weird. I’ve never had that happen. I just installed it two weeks ago on my laptop ahead of a trip without issues.
Thanks, but how do you make your ROMs appear in SDLMame? I took my zip file of my rom, which works fine in OpenEmu Experimental, and just copied it as a zip file into the ROM folder of SDLMame the way you see to do it hear. But when I then open SDLMame again, the game still doesn‘t appear in the „Available“ section of the UI?
Nice video thanks! I never even tried MAME on a MAC. Should be interesting. Do you have a favorite DOSBOX front end? If I am going to run emulators on an M1 I might as well try both.
Are there more than one on the Mac? DOSbox is just there to launch emulator to the DOS prompt as far I've understood it. Only one I've ever used is and it was awhile ago: www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14973/dosbox OpenEMU is the cleanest front end I've seen for the Mac and even PC side. My brother is the retro gamer guy and has a MAMEcade so I see some of the PC side of things from him. Windows has more options but OpenEMU is pretty damn nice.
@@dmug I have the neogeo.zip,but still getting the 0.235 error code.What should i do?What version of neogeo you have used?Can you send me the link?Thanks!
@@beslemeto Can't really share that without risk getting flagged by UA-cam but really I don't remember where I got it. I think a reddit thread linked to it which I found using DuckDuckGo. It took me just a bunch of trial and error.
If you're using OpenEmu's experimental version, you should have the "Drag and Drop games here" which will auto place the MAME folder. Otherwise, if using SDLMame, you'll have to be sure you're viewing the correct directory.
I can't find any roms pack with bios for MAME V0.235 anywhere ( links are dead because MAME has been updated and openEMU run an old core ) , can you please share yours via google drive ?
I can not find the correct .zip for neogeo on my end I have a mac book pro 2021 M1 if you could guide me or lead me to this correct .zip for NeoGeo I appreciate it thank you !
Looks like the UA-cam algos didn't like your comment but it looks like you mentioned you have an Intel iMac, and you downloaded the ARM version which is for Apple Silicon, download the x86/x64 version.
@@dmug I was able to get it running, but I haven't been able to load any games yet. I downloaded some roms and I put them into the roms folder, relaunch, but I still have no games listed as available. I searched for them in the game list as well and tried to open them, but they gave me an error message. Any idea what I've done wrong?
@@sloppyjoe2687 at the very least there’s old versions of open emu, don’t know what the status of compatibility with modern versions are or when MAME was added
@@dmug yeh i got an old version the experimental one and i can actually play mame arcade games but i got lost and confuse during the whole sdl2 stuff in the video, i suppose i do not have the neogeo side of things?
Thanks for the video, I can't open any rom. always gives this error : Files failed to import. Already in library: • "Super Mario World (USA).sfc 2" in Super Nintendo (SNES) What can it be?
Hey, can you share the Neo geo zip file here? I have one but I guess it's the wrong one. Where did you put the file after you got it? Did you drag it straight into the BIOS folder? Trying to see if I had done this correctly.
Sorry, not sharing it because of EULA, not trying to get my video hit with copyright takedowns. I can't recall exactly where I found it. I just dug around downloading BIOS files until I found one that worked. It just goes in the ROM folder. Unfortunately it's really picky about finding a certain dump to work.
The problem with anything MAME related is GBs of previously functioning Roms can be rendered worthless and unusable overnight by over-keen developers. Had a massive collection from the Mac OS 9 days that all worked perfectly and now don’t. The sites that list individual ROMs can be full of duds that work with no current RetroArch core or build of OpenEMU and BT sites seem to be full of obsessive hoarders who package 40+ versions of different ROMs in huge archives and it’s pot luck you ever get enough people sharing them to be able to ever get them downloaded. It’s a nightmare. It didn’t used to be. Moved to Atari ST and Amiga emulation, bought myself a USB adapter and a couple of old Zipstick and Cheatah 125 joysticks and playing those without issue with Hatari and UAE.
Hello, good video, thanks for that, but I have a question; playing with the NeoGeo doesn't work, I downloaded the Neogeo Bios as a zip. File used in arcade, but no game like Metal Slug etc. doesn't start, others from Mame work, but pure NeoGeo games don't run, what am I doing wrong?; (Thanks, greetings Markus
It's all about finding the right neogeo bios. Before anyone asks, since I made this video a year ago I do not remember where I acquired them other than a reddit thread.
I found it on some random UA-cam video’s link. I don’t know even what it was it was so long ago. I remember archive.org didn’t work. There’s a Reddit thread I think that has them but that’s for you to find. I don’t want any DMCA claims and I don’t have it bookmarked either.
Why is everyone saying "counsel" instead of "console?" Seriously. You guys are saying "counsel" as in a "counsel of elders." It's "con" as in "con man" and "sole" as in "sole survivor." "Console." LOL.
@@dmug LOL. Every other English word in this video was spot on. Except that one. LOL. It's like I watched yours and one other video of the most perfect English speaking creators, and both said "consoles" as "counsels" the exact same way. But I did link your vid to a friend of mine with a Mac book. It's still a great video. I'm just one of those who notices the things most others won't bother with or point out.
Thanks so much for this video, finally got the version of shinobi working!
but how i download game? do i need to search NEO Geo Samrurai Shodwon.zip on Google? please guide
Thanks. Sorry about that Where is Neogeo in Bios?
Thanks for all the help Vince Vaughn. 😜 I miss mame. Used to run it out my older pc laptops. I now have a MacBook Pro and for years been trying to figure out how to run mame. I do have openemu for other games.

@@dmug double check is the experimental version, that one will let you download MAME.
Most awesome fine sir, thank you for this great video!
For Warriors of Fate, is it able to play on OpenEmu?
I don’t know? Probably? Depends on console or if it’s an arcade game. If it’s arcade search for name compatibility

open emu name has NEVER worked for me
There’s always the option of using RetroArch or singular emulators. I’ve had good luck for years with openemu but there are a lot of options.

At this point I’m not sure wheee I got it: I think Reddit?
7:15 - When i type the ./mame, I get this. "-bash: ./mame: Bad CPU type in executable" Any idea what the issue would be?
Sounds like maybe you downloaded the wrong version of SDL mame for your cpu type?

Is Apple Silicon Native MAME emulation noticeably smoother than OpenEMU?
